The Second Book The 28th Chapter - Appreciate Your Life

Aug 7/17

We all go through moments in our life when you feel you are nailing it or the feeling of being depressed.  When we are in these lower moments sometimes we are not seeing the positive that we actually have.

As you know of the start of this book I communicated I have been on a new professional journey after years of hard work and dedication.  I am looking for a new home as such a few factors come into play that caused me to lose my alignment of positive energy.  I was struggling to find the positive in my day to day life and was not understanding the point of the years of hard work.  Struggling to understand how to go forward when I lost a group of friends that were co-workers.

As time has passed, there is not the ability to rewind the moment however a Facebook post changed my perception of reality with a simple statement.  As I was starting a trip with my son to San Pedro that post stated I wish I could have your life and I am so jealous.  At the time that caused me to pause as I was in a negative mindset.  Due to the underlining cause of me not feeling a sense of value yet someone looking on thought I had an amazing life.

It took a week for this thought to grow in me and it hasn't left.  The thought is even in my moments of darkness there were others that thought my life was admirable.  Why is that?  What has just occurred?  There it is and that is my perception and mind set which creates my foundation of reality.  When it was at a low level there were others thinking that they would like to have my life.

Thank you for that comment as that comment slowly started to change my mindset.  I went from a sense of emptiness to a sense that I know what I need to do when I return home.  I need to refocus to my alignment and what captures my passion.  No matter what that passion is in you, you have the strength to follow that passion.

That passion is the gift we have been given to make our difference.  Do not let the negative details slow down your passion but use your passion to go into an area you have not experienced before.  True growth in nature always goes back to organic growth and in that organic growth there is no force that can stop that growth.

You will struggle in life like I have with next steps and confidence yet please gather your strength to move yourself forward.  If you don't no one else will and appreciate your gifts of life.
